Saint Joseph’s forward Ronald Roberts Jr. is opening eyes playing for the Sixers in the Orlando Pro Summer League.

Two other Big 5 products will get their chance at an NBA career when the Sixers head to Las Vegas for the Samsung Summer League, which starts Saturday.

La Salle guard Tyreek Duren and Temple grad and Chester All-Delco Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson are among the players the Sixers have invited to a minicamp to determine the roster for Las Vegas.

Center Nerlens Noel and rookies K.J. McDaniels and Jerami Grant are with the team in Orlando and expected to join the team in Las Vegas. Forward Brandon Davies and swingman Adonis Thomas, who played sparingly with the Sixers last season, also have been invited to camp. Guard Jordan McRae, the 58th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, also will be in attendance.
